Veteran actress Shabana Azmi is delighted to see her family on an award-winning spree.

While she has been conferred the prestigious Padma Bhushan, her step-children Zoya and Farhan Akhtar's 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' is sweeping award functions. "Overwhelming response to my getting the Padma Bhushan. Thank you dear ones for all the warmth and affection. Javed got it four years ago," Shabana wrote on her Twitter page.

The 61-year-old was named to receive the Padma Bhushan, India's third highest civilian award, with legendary actor Dharmendra and filmmaker Mira Nair Wednesday.

However, more than feeling "humbled" for her achievement, she is happier to see Farhan and Zoya winning awards for 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara'. Zoya directed the movie, Farhan acted in it, with Hrithik Roshan and Abhay Deol.
